THE teenage leader of a neonazi cell became one of Britain’s youngest convicted terrorists today.

The boy, from Cornwall, was aged just 13 when he began gathering terrorist material and went on to share far-right extremist ideology in online chatrooms at the age of 14.

He appeared before the Old Bailey today, having admitted 12 offences: two of dissemination of terrorist documents and 10 of possession of terrorist material.

Between October 2018 and July 2019, the youth, who cannot be named because of his age, collected a significant amount of far-right material and manuals and was active on online platforms expressing racist and homophobic views, the court heard.

He talked about “gassing” Jewish people, hanging gay people and wanting to “shoot up their parades,” the court heard.

In the summer of 2019, he became the British cell leader of the Feuerkrieg Division (FKD), a neonazi group, the court heard.

The banned network favoured actions over words and encouraged individuals to commit “lone-wolf” attacks.

The defendant liaised with FKD’s 13-year-old “commander” in Estonia and was responsible for vetting and recruiting members and propaganda, it was heard.

His sentencing is expected to take place next week.
